Interpreting or explaining Amenhotep’s dream?

Amenhotep has held a contest to see how his dream is interpreted in iFilm English TV Channel’s historical series ‘Prophet Joseph’.

The contest is being held between Prophet Joseph and the magicians of Egypt. There isn’t a dream that they can’t interpret. But the pharaoh’s dream is different from all the others.

They confess that they have tried their best. In order to interpret his dream, they examined the positions of the stars. They asked the spirits for help and even the devils and demons, but they couldn’t reach any conclusion.

When it’s Joseph’s turn to impress everyone with his God-given blessing, he says “I will not interpret, but I will explain the inter-meaning of your dream.”

Amenhotep asks Joseph about the difference between interpreting and explaining. Watch the video above to see his answer.

Made by Farajollah Salahshour, the series is the Iranian version of the very beloved story of Prophet Joseph, the son of Prophet Jacob who guided the Israelites to pray to the One and Only God.

“God annunciates to him about the next prophet, who will be from his own generation. One night, his son, Joseph, dreams about the sun, the moon and eleven stars which kneel in front of him. He tells Jacob, who advises him not to tell his brothers about the dream,” a synopsis of the series by iFilm English website reads.
